TESTIMONIALS

“We moved to Santa Fe in October 2016 I was just three months away from giving birth to my first child and a lot was going on. One of the things we had to do at this time was choose a daycare! I dreaded this moment, how could I trust anybody but myself to watch my daughter? That was my responsibility. Should I just stay home? No not possible that would slow me down in a career path that I had been working so hard for. What was the point of all those struggles in college if I didn’t stick to my path? But my child needed me! The comparisons: We made our first visit to a very well-reviewed daycare in League City. Yes this daycare was beyond what I could have wanted or needed. Security system great staff seemed ok, but the price oh my I have never expected to pay that much about $220 a week insane! The second daycare we visited one that was lead in the faith and tied into a church, again seemed great price was good the $160-$180 range but wait you don’t make them lunch and I have to pack it every day! No thanks! Third daycare we visited good price range a little under the other two but once we entered we were not impressed at all! It seemed filthy and un-organized I was defiantly not taking my daughter to this place no way! Find the right one: (Brainy Kids Place) The fourth place we visited in Santa Fe and right down the road from our new house! Halfway between my work and my husbands. Not sure why we didn’t just start in this location from the beginning. We rang the bell and were greeted by a pleasant lady at the front that we all know and love now. We were walked thru the policies and given a tour, ok this place isn’t bad. Lots of activates the kids look happy the teacher look engaged. Yes this feels very comfortable. That was it, I was done looking let me pay my deposit on get on the list. The time has come: Very nervous to drop off Beretta my daughter for her first day. She was 11 weeks old (April 2017) and she was one of the smaller babies. I brought all the needs watched her for a good twenty minutes, cried on the other side of the door and then made my way out. Within an hour I received a smiling picture of her on her first day. The week followed still difficult to drop her off each day. The weeks went by and it got easier and easier. She was loved she was happy and she was protected. Ms. Julie the infant teacher at the time was perfect. She kept open communication on what Beretta needed from going up in size on diapers to maybe having more to drink throughout the day. Me being a new parent and my own mother living two states away this was very helpful and made me feel good to have Beretta there. Growing up Brainy: Photos and updated kept coming in. Her social skills improved in no time she was in the mover’s room! We love Ms. Kaycee from watching Beretta in the Movers room some to taking her in the morning time at drop off always a big greeting and willingness to make my daughter comfortable with starting the day. That’s not just this one teacher though that’s all the teachers! Each teacher if they are hers or not go out of their way to try to make my daughter feel comfortable. She moved into the bigger room not sure of the name at about 16 months old this is the room she is currently in today. She is still the smallest here but this room she has made the most in! From better verbal skills including singing randomly, telling me what objects and BKP Website Updates items are or demanding them to interactions. She may still be the shyest of them all but she’s getting there. The most useful thing she has done is this room is potty train! At home we had been trying for two months and it seems within a two weeks’ time she has picked it up very well from daycare. I’m sure this is from seeing her friends there being big kids and learning as well. Final Thoughts: Today I am filled with so much comfort and joy that we went with Brainy Kids Place, I don’t think any other place would feel like a second family to us. We are happy to have Beretta there until school and we are adding another Brainy Kid to the family in a few short month she will join the daycare. I’m sure I will again stand outside the door and cry and be scared and concerned but I know all the teachers here love and do the best they can to care for our children. I wouldn’t have it any other way and they desire the biggest thank you that we can give them! They desire well more than we can ever say and I know I don’t say it enough! Thank you Brainy Kids Place for loving and growing our children with us.”
